COMMON QUESTIONS
A little clarity
before you begin.
What we do, what we don’t, and what happens next.
What happens during the call?
We listen and collect basic information about your loved one, their estate, your location, and any steps already taken. We use these facts to organize your inquiry and discuss whether an attorney connection is an appropriate next step. You do not need to have every answer.
How long is the call, and what does it cost?
The intake call with Maybrook Consulting is 15 minutes and free. There is no obligation to hire an attorney. Any later attorney consultation or legal service fees are separate and set by that attorney.
Will you call me?
Yes. Choose a time through our Calendly booking link and provide a reliable phone number and a valid email address for your confirmation. Maybrook Consulting will call you at the scheduled time.
Can you tell me whether probate is required?
That is a legal determination for an independent attorney. Our call gathers facts about your situation and helps arrange an attorney connection when appropriate. Maybrook Consulting is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or legal services.
What should I have ready?
Simply what you know: where your loved one lived, whether there is a will, any property or other assets, and whether anything has been filed with a court. You do not need documents to begin. Please do not share account numbers, Social Security numbers, or confidential attorney communications.
What happens after the call?
If an attorney connection is appropriate and a participating attorney is available, we can help put you in touch with your permission. The attorney independently discusses legal questions, fees, and whether they can assist. Contact and representation are not guaranteed.
Do you recommend or employ the attorneys?
No. Participating attorneys are independent and are not our employees. We do not endorse or rank them or analyze legal problems to choose a recipient. Attorneys may pay for marketing services or inquiries. You choose whether to hire anyone.
What if I already have an attorney?
Let us know on the call. We review that information before discussing any connection and do not advise you to change attorneys or interfere with existing representation.
Is this a confidential legal consultation?
No. This is a factual intake conversation with a marketing and connection business, not a consultation with your lawyer. Do not assume attorney and client privilege applies.
What if something is urgent?
We do not monitor legal deadlines. Contact an attorney directly about urgent legal questions. Booking a call does not pause or protect a deadline.
